问题
In my web application there is a form which can contain a huge amount of data (this depends on the result of a previous query). When the form reaches a certain size, the servlet cannot cope and an exception is thrown. It seems that the first attempt to fetch a request parameter causes the problem.
I have tried to reproduce the problem on my test server but do not get a problem even when the data size is greater than on the production server.
As a result, I am now wondering if there is a server setting which restricts the size of data which can be passed in a request. I can only assume that there is a difference in the way the 2 servers are configured.
The application server is Websphere 7. I have tried the application using IE9, current FF and current Chrome - all produce the same result.
The exception is
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

POST data size may be limited by a setting in the HTTP channel configuration:

If there is a Web server in front of the WAS, then you should also check the PostSizeLimit property in the plug-in configuration:

Seems there is a restriction - at least in Websphere App Server. Here is the response from IBM...
I reviewed your problem description. You are right, WAS 7 has number of maximum number of parameters allowed in inbound requests, but the number is very high, it is 10000 in both GET and POST requests. If you do not want to limit the number of parameters that can be included in a request you have to set "com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.maxParamPerRequest" webcontainer custom property to -1, for details see "Web container custom properties" - http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/wsbroker/redirect?version=compass&product=was-nd-dist&topic=rweb_custom_props
